This painting shows a woman and a young girl scraping fish on a table outside a small house. The woman is wearing a white headscarf and a brown dress, while the girl is wearing a white headscarf and a dark dress. They are both focused on their work, with the woman holding a knife and the girl holding a fish. In the background, there is a horse and cart, as well as some trees and a cloudy sky. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the clothing and surroundings of the characters. The use of earthy tones such as brown and green creates a sense of warmth and coziness, despite the outdoor setting.
